Everyone Deserves a Second Chance -- The Failure of Critical Thinking, Part Three


Well, you know, sometimes, just sometimes, Comrade X takes pity on his fellow humans and tries, oh yes he tries, to cut them some slack. He tries to step outside his rather narrow Revolutionary Focus to see what others in the non-proletarian world are suffering and he attempts to bring to light their struggles for legitimacy. But you know: that proves most often to be a complete waste of time. Consider the above example.

James Klindt (whoever HE is) has attempted to appear ONCE AGAIN in "the Quad-City [wherever THAT is] spotlight," but this time not as a vicious and cold-blooded murderer but as a restaurateur, a purveyor of delectables in an inauspiciously-named business called "Eats and Sweets." Now, Comrade X realizes that this might be obvious, but certain questions are raised:

1. Did he in fact eat parts of his former "sweet"? Why would he murder his wife AND dismember her if not to get at the juicier parts within, that more delectable marbled human meat? (I'm just sayin'.)

2. How did he manage to get out of prison fast enough to open a restaurant while someone still remembered him well enough to put this ad in the newspaper? Or did he put it in himself? In which case, he is playing on his notoriety as a wife-killing murderer to promote his new business venture, which:

3. Impossibly seems to be a restaurant. Now how did he learn the finer points of microeconomics in prison? How did he obtain a business license? And, more importantly:

4. How did no one at the local paper NOT notice that he refers to himself as a murderer IN THE SAME SENTENCE in which he advertises his new restaurant? And:

5. WHO THE FUCK WOULD EAT THERE? I don't care what kind of food you're serving, James, there's something obviously not right with you and I would be terribly suspicious of any dish you or your cooks put in front of me.

Why would he feel it necessary to mention his criminal past? He seems to be trading on whatever notoriety he had/has in order to boost his business, even if on the back of his dismembered (ex-)wife. Is America the so-called Land of Opportunity so things like this can happen? Should we welcome back wife-choppers into the bosom of society in such a way? Comrade X wonders.
